Oops, I gave it another try and 1.8 looks ok with no threads (on gnu+linux at least). I should try to keep up, eh. You might want to try a native mingw build before attempting the cross compile, I'd Hmm, that sounds like a fair bit of trouble. I choose the path of least resistance! (even thoug

Cool, thanks for the suggestions on the build process. I'll try those, and hopefully I won't come back with errors. Incidentally, last time I tried cross-compiling to mingw (a while ago now) it didn't work. I think in the end it bombed because mingw didn't have pthreads and guile wasn't yet set
